$1200.00 Build (Tell me if anything is wrong) Prices are close to MSRP

Astrophite

Budget (including currency): $1200.00

Country: U.S.

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Valorant, Warzone, Apex, Minecraft, CSGO, Office Apps

Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc.): peripherals not included in price and windows not included in price. The PCPartlist included has the 3060 on and B550 A-Pro at MSRP because I'm not buying it until pc stuff goes back to MSRP.

I'd probably look at the i5 11400 to save some money and realistically get better performance.

You do realize you're looking at probably another year before prices return to normal, yes?

Also, you can't use that system without a graphics card. Do you have one to use in the meantime?

If you meant you're not buying anything until prices return to normal, making a list now is pointless.

 

Other than that, looks good.

Well uh, this is awkward. This list is $100 over your budget, the CPU is at msrp rather than what you can realistically get it at. You could swap out the 3080 for a 3070, but then you're $100 under budget. It is possible to get the 11400f/3080 list down to nearly $1200, but it definitely won't be pretty. 

 

I am NOT a professional and a lot of the time what I'm saying is based on limited knowledge and experience. I'm going to be incorrect at times.
